Three-bedroomed Villa Pontus is your perfect base in Cyprus. The holiday home is located within a villa resort has everything you’ll need for a family-friendly stay, and more. Some of the villa's best features are the large outdoor swimming pool and a secluded sandy beach located just a few minutes away. It’s located within beautiful landscaped gardens near the small town of Polis. The charming area is renowned for its laid-back tavernas, Blue Flag beaches and craggy peninsula – a nature reserve that’s said to be the most beautiful part of the whole island.

The three double bedrooms - one of them can be made twin - are all equally spacious and stylish. On the ground floor, besides the common areas you will find one of the double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, there are a further two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both complete with en-suite bathrooms as well as balconies from which excellent views can be enjoyed. With Wi-Fi throughout, as well as air conditioning, the villa is truly designed for a comfortable, home-from-home stay.

The exterior is traditionally Mediterranean in style with stone walls and dark wood features, while the interior is elegantly modern with whitewashed walls and natural-coloured furnishings. There’s a spacious living room, equipped with plush sofas and large windows letting in the beautiful light. You have a dining table and chairs in the well-equipped kitchen which contains all you will need, from a gas oven and microwave to a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge. There is a large dining table and chairs, with a popular barbecue so you can enjoy the al-fresco lifestyle throughout each day of your holiday. For an extra treat, you can make use of the indoors sauna, that you will find in the lower ground floor.

When you’re not relaxing on a comfy sun lounger or taking a dip in the private swimming pool, the charming Cypriot village of Argaka awaits. It’s in-between the sparkling sea and the craggy mountain slopes, and is home to welcoming tavernas, restaurants and bars, as well as a sandy beach with crystal-clear swimming waters. By day, wander along the quaint cobbled streets or relax on the sand. By night, grab your camera and snap the majestic sunset views over the Akamas Peninsula.

Location

Located within a villa resort with access to a private residents’ beach, Villa Pontus features a prime location. Being set within the unspoilt area of Argaka, it is only a few kilometres away from the town of Polis, in the foothills of the Troodos mountains. This charming town in north-west Cyprus lays on simple pleasures and traditional village life. Days here revolve around the soft sand and pebble beach and the square, which is bordered by shops, cafés and laid-back tavernas. Its surrounds include the beautiful Akamas peninsula – a nature reserve – that’s home to a myriad of wildlife, including birds, reptiles and turtles.

You can explore this beautiful nature reserve via buggies, quad bikes or 4X4 tours. The park contains valleys, gorges and wide sandy bays. Stop off at Lara Beach – a famous nesting spot for the green turtle. The beach is remote and is the perfect spot for swimming or relaxing on the sands.

If it’s more beaches you’re after, Polis also has a sweeping, crescent-shaped beach that has shallow waters that are perfect for swimming. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to take part in water sports like snorkelling, scuba diving and jet skiing. Just a few kilometres west is the small town of Latchi with its boat-lined harbour and restaurants serving a wide choice of food including freshly-caught fish. There’s a water sports centre and boat hire there too. From Latchi port, boats cruise the peninsula and stop at Cyprus’s famous Blue Lagoon where you can swim and relax in the amazing azure blue water. Some boats also prepare a traditional Cypriot barbecue with slow-cooked meat.

For more family-friendly days out, the Baths of Aphrodite with its natural pool (you can swim in it) and Avaka Gorge – a popular hiking destination with a dramatic canyon are also well worth visiting. At the latter, keep an eye out for wild goats in the mountains.

Families staying at Villa Pontus will find the facilities very accommodating for children. The large fenced gazebo is perfect for children to play under the shade. Also, the nearby Polis town centre has friendly restaurants, bars and souvenir shops, as well as the Church of Agios Andronikos near the town square, with its impressive 16th-century wall paintings.

The area is also renowned for its beaches. Sandy Polis beach is an excellent choice. Its shallow waters are perfect for safe swimming and long stretch is ideal for finding a prime place on the sand. Latchi, with more beaches, is also a short drive away. From there, you can jump on a boat to explore the rugged coastline. Most boats stop off at the famous Blue Lagoon for swimming or snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters. There’s also water parks nearby and plenty of opportunities to take part in more water sports like jet skiing, kayaking and scuba diving.
